VWMA And TWAP Distance
vs vwma pct, price vs twap pct.">
What SteadyEdge calculates
This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.
- Registry filter IDs: price_vs_vwma_pct , price_vs_twap_pct
Exact formula
VWMA = sum(C_i*V_i,p) / sum(V_i,p)
TWAP = SMA((H+L+C)/3, p)
distance % = 100 * (C_t-reference_t) / reference_t
Parameters, defaults, and bounds
- period : default 20 ; 1–200
How the rule passes
above requires a strict > comparison.
below requires a strict < comparison.
cross_above requires the previous value below the threshold and the current value at or above it.
cross_below requires the previous value above the threshold and the current value at or below it.
Data, timing, and warm-up
Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.
Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
